I read in another thread that Michelin will keep making them so they'll stay on the M2C for near future, but i'm curious why not just go to PS4, would the performance numbers have been too high?

BMW basically never updates OEM tires once they decide on specs for a given model. The M2 got M3 / M4 tires basically, despite the small change in width.
For example, the E46 M3 came with Michelin PS1 or Continental CSC1 even though PS2 were available by the end of its life. The Z4M came out in 2006 and used E46 M3 tires until 2008! Continental had already been on the 3rd iteration of the ContiSportContact by then.
